Watch Fit 3 does not support WeChat watch version: Huawei

Huawei has confirmed that the Watch Fit 3 wearables don’t support the WeChat watch version. The company has recently modified its official smartwatch page on Huawei Mall, saying that users will not be able to reply to WeChat messages via wearable.

Watch Fit 3 launched without the WeChat application. Later on, the tech giant added the service with the support of payment and reminders for voice or video calls.

Many netizens asked if the Huawei Watch Fit 3 will ever get the WeChat message reply feature. In response, the company said that the feature is in the adaptation process. Once completed, it will reach the device with the OTA upgrade.

Now the company has upgraded the Watch Fit 3 page’s FAQ section on the Huawei Mall. It reads that the wearable won’t support the WeChat reply feature. Users will receive notifications for new messages and can even view them on the watch.

“Hello, Huawei Watch Fit 3 does not support the WeChat watch version and cannot reply to WeChat messages. However, it supports WeChat message reminders and text content viewing, WeChat voice and video call reminders, and WeChat payment to meet the news of viewing important information and travel payment.”

Watch Fit 3 users have to settle with the available WeChat services on the device. The company might have found incompatibility issues with the reply feature due to which it had to pause the adaptation. Although we may find interesting enhancements to the device with the upcoming HarmonyOS updates.

Huawei has recently added three new color options to the Watch Fit 3 devices: Blue, Green, and Gold. While the first two cost 999 yuan, the last one is priced at 1399 yuan. These versions are open for sale with a limited discount of 50 yuan.
